I hope your not still trying to port from angler. It won't work unless the device specs are the same. Angler's specs aren't even close.

LOL

It won't work trying to port from surnia either. The devices are too different for it to work. The device you use to port from has to have the same board and processor type at least. The same camera specs also helps. I'm wondering if you broke your device trying to flash improperly ported rom. You should research what you are trying to do better before you contribute to breaking the devices of other users also.

The processor and board both are different. It will not work! Your wasting your time. You need to find a device with the same cpu and board. You asked for help, I'm trying...
---------- Post added at 08:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 AM ----------
The device you port from has to have a Qualcom Snapdragon 200 cpu and an msm8610 board. Surnia has a snapdragon 410 and an msm8916 board.

[I9500] Creating this Device's tree

Hello,
I wanted to discuss means of creating a device tree for the Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500 so the development can start for the ROM, What is putting us off the track ? What do we need to reach a fully working device tree ?
Hope we could reach something out together ..
Look here
Faryaab has already created one. Let's fork the main repo or branch it with individual repository.. Let's create a team and start working on it
I will set up my Linux machine tonight. Hopefully, we can achieve what we want

Perfect .. As I want to release for this device and the lack of a properly working Device tree is stopping me !
We can not really start on Faryaab's tree. He has given up on the I9500. He is not willing to develop it further (as far as I know). But I still thank him for kick starting it
We need another complete tree now
There's a hell of a lot more involved than creating the device tree... There is no Exynos5 "Octa" platform support anywhere in the tree.
Each platform almost always requires some degree of customization to the frameworks to support it - the required customizations for Exynos5 "Octa" are undocumented. (search the tree for QCOM_HARDWARE or EXYNOS4_ENHANCEMENTS for some examples.)
Anyone can create a tree. Implementing support for a new platform throughout the codebase is a whole other story - and no one wanting to do THAT so far is why the I9500 has no CM support.

I know, what I am thinking is just try to port framework and other important libraries and see if that works. Exynos is badly documented

Two posts above yours, He said that it's not going to be easy simply because Samsung just can't document a thing properly !
With lack of proper documentation , It would be extremely hard to create the device tree .. I too want to build my ROM for the i9500 but we need to figure something out to be able to continue ..
Folks just coming by and asking it to get/keep it going - that's not dev talk and plenty of other forums to post that in.
So if your post disappeared... that's why.
Thanks.

Status 7 error is caused while the ROM’s updater script file checks to see if the phone model of your phone is compatible with the ROM you are installing, called “asserts”
You can delete this assert in updater-script to bypass this verification

oh, common.. Why you think device can be bricked by this? It won't. Just don't mess with boot block (and don't use engineering bootloader because it doesn't set boot block hardware write protection) and you always will be able to enter download mode and then flash whatever you want through Odin.

HI

Hi,I am a Nokia x (RM-980).I have waited a long time for a taste of stable kitkat.I here dont have
any stable roms nor good ROMS.our devs are trying hard but no result.if you can make a rom for ME,me and all my users will be thankful to you

No kernel source. And a rare device. I wouldn't hold out for hope. If you want it then I would dig in and learn to do what you can yourself.

Nokia X has less activity on xda because its low legacy device. Custom roms are hard to say because even some sections have very less number of roms. and Nokia X is not android pre-installed device its Open Source. It has its own operating system running maybe you should try making that simpler.

It's not Microsoft that releases it. It would be Nokia and of it is not a android phone from the start that will make it even harder.
And make no mistake. Android is not open source except for the AOSP which is different that what Google puts on devices. Also people don't build things for devices they don't own.

Getting Device Tree And Vendor Blobs For Less-Used Device

I had made a thread about creating a custom ROM for Android over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/xda-assist/building-custom-android-rom-t3526514#post70277383 and Art Vanderlay suggested I post here, so here it is.
I own the BLU Energy X 2, and I am in need of the Device Tree and Vendor Blobs for the phone to create a custom ROM based off of CyanogenMod. My device currently has CyanogenMod on it, however it's an unofficial port for the BLU Studio Selfie. I am not sure how the dev of that ROM got these files, however the Infinix Hot 2 is a "clone" of that device, so he may have just ported it from there, or it may have not even needed porting at all Anyways, for me to create a custom ROM based off of CyanogenMod, I need the Device Tree and Vendor Blobs. I do have the ProjectConfig file if that helps.
These files are usually somewhere on GitHub, but due to the development community for BLU devices in general being almost non-existant, these files are nowhere to be found. So, how can I get these files for my device to start building a custom ROM? Thanks
If you need any other information, please reply.
Device Specs:
BLU Energy X 2
Model #: E050U
Android Version: 5.1 Lollipop
Kernel Version: 3.10.74+
Chipset: MT6580
Use Device and Vendor trees from similar devices, change names and other stuff like your device in the configs...
I'm noobie too, but this is how people make it for MTK devices

So all I need to do is find a device with similar specs, and same chipset that has device tree and vendor blobs already created? And then I just modify it to fit my specific device?

Do the devices need to be officially CM supported, to get the device tree and vendor blobs? Because I found a couple of devices like the ZenFone Go that has an unofficial version of CM, but I can't find the device tree for that device.
These come from the oem. While the directions posted sometimes work it is dirty hacking at best and never stable. This is why developers stay away from mtk devices and they are really only used in cheap devices.

Ok, so I've discovered that the Infinix Hot 2 has mostly the same specs as my device, and that it's basically a clone of the Studio Selfie, which is the device that I used to unofficially port CyanogenMod to my device, so that's a good sign. Anyways, CyanogenMod was built for the Infinix Hot 2 from source, and they provided links to GitHub. It does say though that the Infinix Hot 2 is Android One. Is that a big problem?

Wow great news hope to see android p based roms without much problem in near future

Wow ?
I need to ask something can anyone point me where are the drivers for soc lies i mean in a rom it is stored in /system/vendor folder but where does Qualcomm publishes its drivers for its different soc? Because project treble can only come to live if our land uses the project trebled compatible drivers from Qualcomm am i right? Please correct me of i am wrong and elaborate how these things goes

Look in windows we need to download drivers for windows 10, windows 7 etc etc and those are simple drivers which user can install right but in android there is vendor folder which contains all drivers for our soc camera ril etc. I want to know where does Qualcomm releases such drivers i mean in git or anywhere else. There must be a source from where mobile phone manufacturer get those vendor files and use it to build the rom for their devices Right? Take it in this way for buildings a custom rom we need source code which is available in git which devs can clone and compile to make a rom similarly where does we get these camera libs, soc, etc related files found?

What is that and does it serves ?Okay can you tell me one thing does Qualcomm and other vendors who makes parts like soc, camera module etc for smartphone also makes drivers for the same or not? Or is the mobile phone company who makes all drivers for the components used in the phone? Intel makes processor and releases driver for the same does it gos well for manufacturer like Qualcomm?

Can you maybe release your software on github?

why no roms are available? im coming from asus max pro m1, redmi 4x, there is a huge dev support why not for this good lookin device with good spec
Probably dual screen is bit complex and LG has done very good job in making bug free at least till now i haven't found any bug. While for other phones they can do by changing the OS bit and almost all feature remain same. Also one reason is vietnam shipped products dont have firmware for bootloader unlocking without that you can't flush any OS

I agree with that no bug but lg very lazy in making new update ,if they allow bootloader unlock for all region we can taste the new upcoming android versions.

Coz they didn't allow to unlock bootloader ones we unlocked we can do a lot of rom
Personally, I'm not too worried about custom roms because Android 10 is about as good as it gets anyways. I mean 11 is fantastic but not a must have. I just want to have root access that's what really bug's me
There is a way used in lg g8(not our device ) can get temp root access without unlocking bootloader I'd like to give a try but if it hardbrick there is no way to recover
